There are two pages for the sign of Aries, one clothed and one nude, and there are two pages for the sign of Taurus, one clothed and one nude. What makes you think it shouldn't be the same for all twelve signs of the zodiac?
I have the opinion (I wouldn't call it a theory) that the original VMS was much larger and that many pages were removed
1. To hide the European identity of the VMS authors, and
2. To hide the New World migration of the VMS authors.
It just so happens that the word "Aries" makes two appearances in the VMS prophecies and if it weren't for that, we might not be seeing any clothed zodiacs at all.

Ironically, in the world of the esoteric, the word "Aries" has nothing to do with the zodiac but simply alludes to the Aryans, from the word "Arie", French for Aria, the old name of Afghanistan. Apparently the VMS authors didn't know that, and hence we see an interest in astrology when none was merited.
